It's a good thing that local fans have the Oscars to occupy them this weekend, because there's going to be precious little fresh material to entertain them at the multiplex.

Only two new films are scheduled to open in wide release this weekend, and if you fall outside their dedicated fan bases, they're nothing to get too awfully fired up about: Tyler Perry's "Madea Go to Jail," and the teen comedy "Fired Up."

(At least Perry's film boats a potential Oscar nominee in Viola Davis, who is up for a Supporting Actress trophy for her role in "Doubt.")

Here's a quick rundown on each, including links to trailers, for those looking to get a jump-start on planning their weekend.

A pair of high school football stars, unhappy with the idea of another summer at football camp, decide to sign up for cheerleading camp instead. (The tagline: "2 guys. 300 girls. You do the math.") Nicholas D'Agosto and Eric Christian Olsen star in Will Gluck's comedy. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, partial nudity, language and some teen partying. 1 hour 34 minutes.

The latest film from New Orleans native Tyler Perry sees his gun-toting grandmother sent to the pokey, where she encounters a number of mixed-up characters. Perry stars, with Derek Luke, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Vanessa Ferlito and Viola Davis. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, drug content, some violence and sexual situations. 1 hour 43 minutes.
